Gizmos Spotlight
Addition and subtraction with negative numbers are often difficult for students to understand. The Adding and Subtracting Integers with Chips Gizmo uses the model of positive and negative chips to make these operations much more comprehensible. It's a great Gizmo for Grade 6!
L’addition et la soustraction avec des nombres négatifs sont souvent difficiles à comprendre pour les élèves. Le Gizmo Addition et Soustraction de Nombres Entiers avec des Jetons (Adding and Subtracting Integers with Chips) utilise le modèle des jetons positifs et négatifs pour rendre ces opérations beaucoup plus compréhensibles. C'est parfait pour la 6e année.
The "Phases of Water" Gizmo allows students to add or remove heat from water, and observe the phase changes that result. Students can also use the magnifier to observe water molecules in each phase. This Gizmo aligns with Science 3.
‘’Les phases de l’eau’’ de Gizmo permet aux élèves d'ajouter ou de supprimer la chaleur de l’eau, et d’observer les changements de phase qui résultent. Les élèves peuvent également utiliser la loupe pour observer les molécules d'eau dans chaque phase. S'aligne sur les sciences pour la 3e année.
